Anticoagulation in a Neurosurgical Patient with Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Type II with Argatroban and Fondaparinux after Clipping of an Intrac…
2009
Background: Therapeutic anticoagulation in patients after a major neurosurgical procedure remains critical because of the risk of a major intracranial bleed. Novel drugs could play
Repair of a spinal pseudomeningocele in a delayed postsurgical cerebrospinal fluid leak using titanium U-clips: Technical note
2020
Abstract Introduction Chronic cerebrospinal fluid leak (CCFL) represents a possible event following spine surgery, with an incidence rate ranging from 5 to 18%. In literature have been reported few modification techniques that involved the use of titanium U-clips with the aim to reduce dural traumatism during its closure but only after non-accidental durotomy. Case illustration We report the case of a 47-year-old female with history of L5-S1 microsurgical discectomy. After one year the patient was admitted to our unit because she presented progressive skin swelling in the lumbar region, intermittent headache and recurrent episodes of lipothymia. One-year MRI showed a voluminous subcutaneous…
Transcatheter Mitral Repair for Functional Mitral Regurgitation According to Left Ventricular Function: A Real-Life Propensity-Score Matched Study
2020
Background: Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) could improve survival in functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), but it is necessary to consider the influence of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Therefore, we compare the outcomes after TMVR with Mitraclip®
Clinical outcome of critically ill, not fully recompensated, patients undergoing MitraClip therapy
2014
Aims As periprocedural risk is low, MitraClip implantation is often performed in critically ill, not fully recompensated patients, who are in NYHA functional class IV at the time of the procedure, to accelerate convalescence. We herein sought to evaluate the procedural and 30-day outcome of this patient group. Methods and results A total of 803 patients undergoing MitraClip implantation were included in the German Mitral Valve Registry, and 30-day outcomes were prospectively assessed. Patients were separated based on NYHA functional class [(NYHA IV (n = 143), III (n = 572), and I/II (n = 88)]. No difference was noted in co-morbities and echocardiographic parameters of LV function between gr…
Surgical management of ruptured small cerebral aneurysm: Outcome and surgical notes
2015
Background Management of small aneurysms often poses a therapeutic dilemma and surgical treatment or coiling can be considered as therapeutic choices. In the present study, we reviewed our series of ruptured small cerebral aneurysm treated surgically. Methods A total of 53 consecutive patients with ruptured small aneurysm were surgically treated between January 2008 and July 2014. Data were retrospectively collected. Procedure-related death and complications were systematically reviewed. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Modified Ranking Scale. Neuroradiological follow-up was performed to assess aneurysmal occlusion and recanalization rate. Results The mean aneurysm size was 2 mm ± …
Validación de la biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela como método de estadificación axilar postneoadyuvancia en pacientes con cáncer de mama y axil…
2021
La biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela (BSGC) es la técnica de elección para la estadificación axilar en pacientes con cáncer de mama que no reciben tratamiento neoadyuvante (NA), así como en aquellas con axila negativa (N0) al diagnóstico que reciben NA. En pacientes con afectación axilar al diagnóstico (N+) que reciben NA, la realización de BSGC todavía sigue generando debate, debido fundamentalmente a la mayor tasa de falsos negativos (TFN) reportada en los primeros estudios realizados, recomendando todavía la mayoría de guías actuales la realización de linfadenectomía axilar (LA). Algunos procedimientos recientemente descritos, como el marcaje del ganglio inicialmente afecto y su loc…
Eclipse un Android Studio kvalitatīvs salīdzinājums Android lietotņu izstrādāšanai
2018
Bakalaura darbā ir izpētīta Android lietotņu izstrāde no kvalitatīvā viedokļa. Izmantojot autora izveidoto kvalitātes modeli integrētajai izstrādes videi, tiek salīdzinātas Android Studio un Eclipse, kas ir divas integrētās izstrādes vides, ko izmanto Android lietojumprogrammu izstrādē. Kaut gan Eclipse agrāk bija plašāk izmantojama, mūsdienās Android Studio ir daudz vairāk iespēju. Bakalaura darba ietvaros tiek aprakstīta Android platforma un tās attīstības vēsture. Praktiskajā daļā tiek izveidotas divas lietotnes – katra savā izstrādes vidē, lai salīdzinātu tās. Darbā tiek aprakstīti aspekti, kas ietekmē lietotnes, piemēram, ekrāna izmēri, atmiņa, utt. Darbā tiek apskatīti dažādie ekrāna …
Intracranial Venous Alteration in Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Protocol for the Prospective and Observational SAH Multicenter St…
2022
BackgroundArterial vasospasm has been ascribed as the responsible etiology of delayed cerebral infarction in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), but other neurovascular structures may be involved. We present the protocol for a multicenter, prospective, observational study focused on analyzing morphological changes in cerebral veins of patients with aSAH.Methods and AnalysisIn a retrospective arm, we will collect head arterial and venous CT angiograms (CTA) of 50 patients with aSAH and 50 matching healthy controls at days 0–2 and 7–10, comparing morphological venous changes. A multicenter prospective observational study will follow. Patients aged ≥18 years of any gender …
Chandra study of the eclipsing M dwarf binary, YY Gem
2012
The eclipsing M dwarf binary system, YY Gem, was observed using Chandra covering 140 ks (2Prot) in total, split into two even exposures separated by 0.76 d (0.94 Prot). The system was extremely active: three energetic flares were observed over the course of these observations. The flaring and non-flaring states of the system are analysed in this paper. The activity level increased between the first and second observations even during the quiescent (non-flaring) phases. An analysis of the dynamics of the X-ray-emitting plasma suggests that both components are significantly active. Contemporaneous Hα spectra also suggest that both components show similar levels of activity. The primary star i…
